(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL43mzomLy
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyRedFDkbr
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWosdqRz0q
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IKDPAynY4
Lord Preen: Æther, dear friend, a marvel of our age! A force harnessed from the celestial heavens, powering our contraptions with the might of suspensium and the very essence of the skies.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gdjfn8s69
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz50Pst4Zj
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSI33Syx4R
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzudCA4l3Z
Lord Preen: Aye, the Adapetus Æther is nothing like his predecessor, the Mechanical. He's plagued by paranoia and nervously tinkers with this new Æther technology.

(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZt3CBaiZ0
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ94Z4JELHt
Lord Preen: (Observant) Indeed, these wings seem to have a curious connection to Æther-powered devices. Perhaps we should find the Adapetus Æther for an explanation.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmLfcQ9nZq
Lord Preen: "Hark, the pursuit of another Adapetus, my dear! Were I bestowed a farthing for each such endeavour, I would rival the entire fortune of Narciss.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7KtFHFFEJ
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8zobYcWJA
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
